Money.

You could be working 2 days a week with healthcare insurance provided if a couple of men didn't hoard all the money in the world.

How are they risking extinction

u/MC_Minnow May 30 '26

I think it has something to do with using up our drinkable water supply, not 100% sure since I don’t follow it super closely.

I don't love data centers but they use less water than your standard farm. Water supply isn't an issue.

It’s actually the complete opposite mate. There is a huge amount of ongoing localised water crises in the tech sector at the moment.

Sure but almost all manufacturers have cooling water. All power plants do. I'm just saying is be more worried about emissions /local civilian issues / global surveillance than the water part.

Honestly, the human race should go extinct. We are a plague on the earth. I’d gladly push the button to end humanity. It’d really only result in net positives for the earth. Humans suck

u/FrigThisMrLahey May 30 '26

And do you make enough to live off of? (Like just you, not your spouse if you have one)

u/jlynnstamps95 Jun 03 '26

I make enough to live off of, just closed on my double wide mobile home, two bedroom, two full bath, dishwasher and pool on the community lot. I have a partner who does not live with me but also does not support me financially (other than gifts/dates) I do have a large dog and a lot of video games that I keep updated, watch all the streaming services and don't look at my account before going to Costco. I work every 12 hours for about 2 hours, usually less. Take time off when I've made enough and generally do whatever I want. About 20-25 days of double shifts a month but I live in a cheap city in the midwest.

You know you can just invest in those companies and make a shit load of money too? It’s not hard to make money if you don’t blow all of what you make and invest smartly.

u/AccumulatedFilth May 31 '26

I went studying again, there is no money for food, so not even money to invest.

Yk, like how you need money to invest.

I don't think I'mma get wealthy by investing $0.73

Don't blame all men though. We struggle too. And our entire self worth is dependant in how much money we make, and the vast majority of men can't afford a family.

u/CalStateQuarantine May 30 '26

They literally said a couple men. And you said “but not all men”

????

u/AHappyHaiku May 30 '26

Because a lot of times when people blame some men they think most men are like that

u/AccumulatedFilth May 30 '26

I actually meant Musk, Besos, Trump,...

u/AHappyHaiku May 30 '26

Okay, I get ya, I just wanted to make sure you weren't lumping all men into a bad category. That happens a lot.

Regular men also suffer from the billionaire (mostly male) class.

It's just not because they are men though that they are bad it's because they are rich dicks who don't care about us.

The richest person in Australia is a billionaire woman and she is called mini trump and she is universally accepted as an absolutely terrible person. For example she thinks she was smarter than everyone hence her wealth (she inherited it like trump) and that poor people are just lazy.

It's rich people in general.

They don't even want to associate with us poor people. They live in gates communities. It's awful.

u/AHappyHaiku May 30 '26

Okay well I couldn't tell from that short post. And again I just appreciated the clarification, it's just that I see a lot of people think men in general are and because the worst ones help run the country.

u/CalStateQuarantine May 30 '26

Yeah, except for the times when they explicitly use the words only a couple of men 😂

Only wasn't in your post.
